Millom Infant School
Every child a learner, we all learn together
PE
Our Vision
Our vision for PE is to provide pupils with the opportunity to be creative, competitive and face up to different challenges as individuals and in groups and teams. It promotes positive attitudes towards a healthy and active lifestyle. Pupils learn how to think in different ways and make decisions in response to creative, competitive and challenging activities. They learn how to reflect on their performance, plan, perform and evaluate actions, ideas and performances to improve the quality of their work.
The development of PE at Millom Infant School has been significantly enhanced by the introduction of the Government's PE funding in 2013; this funding has been key in providing the pupils at our school with the very best opportunities in physical education such as wheelchair basket ball and for Onside coaches to come in and work with the childen in lessons and after school clubs.
Our Aims
Through the teaching of physical education we aim to:
- develop and explore physical skills with increasing control and co-ordination
- work and play with others in a range of group situations
- develop the way they perform skills and apply rules and conventions for different activities
- increase their ability to use what they have learnt to improve quality and control of their performance
- recognise and describe how their bodies feel during exercise
- develop enjoyment of physical activity through creativity and imagination
- develop an understanding of how to succeed in a range of physical activities and how to evaluate their own success
- have the opportunity to take part in a range of competitive, creative and challenge- type activities, both as individuals and as part of a team or group
- understand that PE and sport are an important part of a healthy active lifestyle
Our Curriculum
We use Get Set For PE scheme of work. It provides curriculum-aligned lesson plans, schemes of work, assessment tools, and supporting resources for various age groups, helping teachers create a progressive and engaging PE curriculum for primary school children. The platform aims to help students develop physical skills, knowledge, and confidence through structured and varied activities.
During their time at Millom Infant School, children will take part in a wide range of sporting activities, building on skills from the previous year.
We recognise that all classes have children of widely differing abilities, and so we provide suitable learning opportunities for all children by matching the challenge of the task to the ability and experience of the child. We achieve this in a variety of ways, by:
- Targeting gifted and talented children to achieve at a higher standard through support and challenge in after-school clubs.
- Setting tasks of increasing difficulty.
- Providing apparatus which are suitable for the ability of the child, taking into account their individual needs
- Providing appropriate adult support to scaffold learning and to aid the work of the individual or group
